Overview
- Exaforce announced a $125 million Series B with HarbourVest, Peak XV, Mayfield, Khosla Ventures, Seligman Ventures and AICONIC participating, at a valuation TechCrunch reports at $725 million.
- The company says it will use the funds to grow its AI-native security operations platform and expand into new markets including Japan and Europe.
- Its system builds a live security knowledge graph as data arrives so autonomous “Exabots” can answer investigation questions in under a minute, which the company describes as a 10x speedup.
- Exaforce claims up to a 90% cut in manual analyst work and says it has added about 20 customers since its Q4 launch, naming Replit and Guardant Health, with some buyers citing gains from pairing the platform with 24/7 managed detection and response.
- The push targets a threat landscape where attackers now use AI, placing Exaforce in a crowded field with startups such as 7ai, Dropzone AI and Prophet Security and with incumbents Palo Alto Networks and CrowdStrike.
